About: New to Jacksonville. I’ve owned plenty of pets growing up, experienced with dogs large and small. Very patient with animals in general. I own a French Bulldog, his name is Billy. He is very energetic, and gets along with everyone. I own a food business and bartend part-time, so my schedule is flexible. My mom will also be home around the clock, for extra supervision. There’s plenty to do around my neighborhood. Billy will also be there to keep them company whenever they want, and will respect when they just want to chill.

“Hannah did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Marley! I’ve used Rover a couple of times, but Hannah is by far the best dog sitter I’ve used from Rover.

Alyssa M.
“Alyssa lives in my apartment complex and I met her through Ada, the dog she is fostering. Ada was on her leash, about 15 feet away, begging for my attention so I asked if I could pet her. Alyssa said yes and explained that Ada is hyper-reactive, but I still thought she was an adorable dog. After talking with Alyssa over the last few months and having Ada stay at my apartment a few times, I could see how well Alyssa cared for her and trained her. Ada behaves so much better on the leash now, you almost wouldn't even notice her walking by you on the sidewalk. Alyssa even wrote detailed instructions on shampooing Ada's feet hahaha”

Mark is amazing! He watched my dog and 2 cats for 10 days in our home and they were in amazing hands. He catered to my dogs health needs and treated them all as his own. He kept my house tidied and I came home from vacation to a freshly cleaned home. I am so happy to have found Mark and plan to rebook him in the future!
Kira was wonderful and took amazing care of my pets and home while I was away for the week. I received regular updates and photos, so I knew I didn’t need to worry at all! I came home to a clean house, happy animals, and am truly grateful for Kira’s reliability and kindness. Would absolutely book again!
Nicole did a wonderful job with our anxious dog, Reggie, who usually takes a long time to warm up to new people. She took her time over a couple of visits to get to know him and understand his routine. During the house sitting, Nicole sent lots of updates and pictures, which we really appreciated. It was clear that Reggie was well loved while we were away.
We were out of the country for two weeks and very anxious about leaving our pets, especially our old dog who is having a lot of mobility and incontinence issues. We knew from previous trips (and other old dogs) that Layda would take excellent care and be able to handle any curve balls that Aster might throw her way. Layda cares for our pets like her own and we felt much more confident on this trip knowing that she was here with them.
This is the first time I've hired someone to care for my special needs Great Dane (genetically deaf & blind). Christy provides hands down, exceptional care. Both for him, and my own separation anxiety around leaving him. I can't say enough postive things. From asking clarifying questions, to providing updates, to being open and flexible, to just being a wonderful human (you know and so will your animal). 10 stars. Thank you, and bless you for helping me.
